Morning came too early and the hotel bfast hours too short. Since we didn't have to be at the park right away we were planning on swimming but the pool was ice cold so we hung around the room then went running around for supplies and new Reboks...since the outlet mall is out here I wait until we perform here to get my favs. Turns out the cost was no different than any regular store. Got them anyways.
This is like our 14th year or so at the Calico Ghost Haunt. We have become fixtures there and for us it is nice to see old friends and see what changes have occurred since our last visit. We have seen the town change alot over the years. We miss some of the stuff that Political Correctness has pushed out as well as the stuff California regulations and laws have pushed away...I really am beginning to hate this state. But we keep putting the same morons in office over and over and aver again. UGH!
Only two shows today. Evening shows. The first show was small since it was only 30 minutes after the park opened. The second was at 7:30 and was S.R.O. Very nice. Tomorrow would be off the charts.
By the way, what is up with our family cars this year. Anyone familiar to this blog knows about the Chevy van's troubles at the end of the Eastern tour. Then James' Saturn began having trouble that according to the mechanic will be terminal or very expensive...our choice. Well, yesterday as we were settling in the hotel I get a call from Mami, old faithful (the 99 Chevy van that has Titus' wheelchair lift) over heated and was being towed into the shop by AAA. Turns out a hose blew off and the oil was dreadfully low......my negligence due to the crazy schedule.
Tomorrow's shows start around noon so we can sleep in a bit.
An interesting thing: the hotel we are staying at is the same htoel we stayed at our very first Calico trip 14 years ago. It was a different brand than it is now and it was a real dump back then. Today it is a nice middle of the road hotel. Sadly the park lost it's relationship with Hampton inn and Holiday inn express which were very nice indeed. This one is Ok but I guess we've been a little spoiled the past few years.
